Jackie Gleason (February 26, 1916—June 24, 1987)(born Herbert John Gleason) was an American comedian and actor often said to have been one of America's most beloved television entertainers in the medium's coming-of-age years.
Gleason is best-remembered for his brashly versatile comedy and swift ad-libbing, particularly in the comic portrait of his Chauncey Street, Bensonhurst, Brooklyn neighborhood in The Honeymooners as bus driver Ralph Kramden.
Gleason repeatedly proved himself to be as capable a dramatic actor as he was a comedian, in films like Rod Serling's Requiem for a Heavyweight (1962), Soldier in the Rain (1963) with Steve McQueen, and his Oscar-nominated performance opposite Paul Newman in The Hustler (1961).
